polkit: Allow password-less access for 'libvirt' group Many users, who admin their own machines, want to be able to access system libvirtd via tools like virt-manager without having to enter a root password. Just google 'virt-manager without password' and you'll find many hits. I've read at least 5 blog posts over the years describing slightly different ways of achieving this goal. Let's finally add official support for this. Install a polkit-1 rules file granting password-less auth for any user in the new 'libvirt' group. Create the group on RPM install https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=957300

// Allow any user in the 'libvirt' group to connect to system libvirtd
// without entering a password.
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.libvirt.unix.manage" &&
subject.isInGroup("libvirt")) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});
